  • Yoshi's voice is really iconic, right? But go back to the 1990s, and Yoshi had a totally different, and also very iconic voice! So, why did Nintendo change Yoshi's voice - and where did his original voice from Super Mario World even come from? Let's answer the question of why Yoshi doesn't sound like he used to!

    There was one game that used both Kondo's soundss and Totaka's voice: Yoshi's Island on the GBA. In that game, Totaka's voice replaced most of Yoshi's sounds from the SNES game, EXCEPT the sound Yoshi makes when you retrieve Baby Mario, onto Yoshi's back.

    I honestly feel like the original sound used for Yoshi does sound like his modern voice we know just obviously more compressed. It's not the same sound but I associate them both with Yoshi a lot and they both sound pretty similar.
    And Yoshi's voice in the old TV show sounds in line with what I would expect from Yoshi too.

    I was actually pretty upset, when Yoshi's Island was re-released on Game Boy Advanced and they actually changed the old voice from Yoshi's Island to the new one from Yoshi's Story. I'm okay with some progress over the years, some things may change. But re-releasing a classic and change some remarkable parts just because it fits newer games is not cool. Let the classics be classic!
